Some recent shots

A photo I had taken of a North Atlantic Right Whale (among the most endangered species of whale) was selected for the cover of Florida Wildlife Magazine in the 2006 November/December issue. The cover photo and table of contents can be found here: http://www.floridawildlifemagazine.com/pastissues2006.cfm ************One of my bird images will be published on the cover (as part of a montage) of a new National Park Service brochure. Another bird image will be gracing the cover of a book of poetry. One of my photos can be seen in the newly published book, "Owls of The North, a naturalist's handbook" by David Benson. I am a regular contributor to the city papers online bird galleries and occasional contributor to the papers bird column.

I've earned a living doing photography for 25 years. I've been seeking creative inspiration, and your photos have given me the feeling I had when I first decided that this would be my career. Very nice work, very inspiring. A fresh view of the world which is so often seen and presented as commercial, corrupt, and doomed. Thank you! (my site is shreveimaging dot com)

Boy, when I think of all the things in this world I'd never have seen up close if it weren't for this forum and the superb work that photogs like you have done. Thanks for sharing. I'm working on learning my 300D and lenses well enough that one day I'll hopefully be able to make a few shots as good as your many!! jim
